Key Features

Formed in 1679, the entire village was constructed over a sheet of dolostone bedrock that creates a range of soil types around the area. Clay, sand, loam, and glacial till are common throughout the district and offer fertile agricultural ground for fruit trees and tender plants. The village is also surrounded on three sides by the Lac des Deux Montagnes, creating a micro-environment that is very conducive to decorative and exotic planting. This interesting natural beauty contributes to the appeal of the Terrain de Golf Senneville, the golf club in Senneville. The club is considered one of the premier courses on the Island of Montreal and is a dream attraction for wealthy tourists to the city. Established in 1948, the club is private and very exclusive. The variety of soil in the region has also helped contribute to the development of La Ferme du Fort Senneville, a highly-publicized organic farm on the Island. The farm’s goal is to provide the West Island community with organic and locally grown vegetables and fruit throughout the year and to promote the concept of organic farming across Quebec.
In spite of its small population, Senneville has been home to many notable individuals, including the 1980s American teen sensation Corey Hart and Academy Award winning actor and thespian Christopher Plummer.
